Cures Catarrh Where Other Physicians
Pail---The Testimony OF
Two Ladies,
Mrs. S. F. Doane, Of Minneapolis, ana
Mrs. Peter Reardon, of st.
Paul, Testifying to
His Skill and Reliability---Nine Growths
Removed By Delicate and
Painless Operation.

A skillful physician having a very
large practice, writes that "a great
many people think they have catarrh,
when in reality they have something
growing in their nose. Such grOWthS
frequently stop up one or both sides OF
the nose, so that it is almost impossible
to breathe through it. They change,
however, according to the weather, In
damp weather they swell or enlarge,
and thus often entirely stop the breath
ing through the nose. In some cases
the grOWthS are not large enough to stop
the air from going through the nose, but
they give rise to sense Of fullnesS,
and frequently cause severe and pro
longed attacks Of SneeZing. Sometimes
people are made aware of this growth
in their nose by small pieces of the
pOlypy coming out, it is easily distin-
guished by the jelly like appearance.
These growths are in some cases ia such
size and numbers that they hang down
into the throat, or can be seen by look
cause headache, a sense of fullness IN
the ear, and give decided nasal tWang
to the voice. These growths are very
annoying and diSagreeable. These are
as rule removed by a Skillful operator
without much difficulty.
1t very often happens though that
bungling job is made of it, causing
great suffering to the patients without
them gaining the least benefit from it.
Among the numerous sufferers from
these tumorS was Mrs. +. S. Doane,
residing at No. 424 Second avenue south,
who said to the writer: Il was troubled
for more than ten years with polypy In
my nose, which was completely stopped
up so that L could not even force air
through it; had to breathe entirely
through my mouth, and would some
times nearly choke when l would eat.
My appetite, too, was very poor. My
speech was so affected by them that 1T
was often difficult to be understood
when speaking; my head at times l
thought would burst it ached so. l did
not have a night of sound sleep for over
six years, and really think 1 was the
most miserable person living, and felt
that if | had to endure my suffering
much longer l would rather die than
live;
sicians in Waukesha, Milwaukee, Chi
| cag0, and last at Minneapolis, and was
| treated by them. They all tried to re-
move them; some tried with pincers or
| forceps and nearly killed me. l thought
| they would pull the whole top of my
head off. Others gave me medicine to
kill them. but none of them did me
good. My husband spent hundreds of
dollars i'll trying to have them removed
from me. The doctors all finally told
me it was one of the impoSsibilities of
this life to remove them, that they
would have to take their course. made
up my mind that they would kill me, for
l could not stand the misery they caused
me much longer. After repeatedly hear
ing of DR.. McCOy'S successful treat
ment | was finally induced to visit his
offices at the West hotel, which | did ;
but l must confess it was without eX-
pectation of obtaining any relief
whatever. He made careful ex-
animation, and told me he would not
say he could cure me, but that lie could
afford me great relief. L placed myself
under his care. He gave me some medi-
cine and requested me to call in few
days, which l did. He then performed
delicate operation on my nose, which
scarcely caused me any pain. In all he
removed nine polypy from my nose,
some as large as medium-SiZed walnut
since which time my head and nose is
as clear as it ever was, breathe through
it freely, L am not bothered any more
with headache. Have a splendid appe
tite, can sleep soundly all night and fee
entirely well, and have no heSitency in
recommending DR.. Mccoy to the afflicted
as skillful and reliable physician. Ii
is now several months since L last visited
| DR.. Mccoy, and there is no signs of the
polypy returning" Mrs. Doane can be
seen at her residence, No. 424 Second
avenue south, where the above will be
fully zorro bOrated. . q. ia
